2017 Adopt a Noob Discussion

Hello everyone! I am definitely available to mentor anyone who is interested. I have been on my fitness pal for a couple of years now and log every day. I try to bike, run, or do yoga every day of the week, if possible. I have lost 75 pounds so far from tracking, exercise, and lifestyle change. I keep my food log public for all to see Fitness is a huge part of my life - I biked this summer to prepare for Ragbrai and I am running to prepare for a half marathon next summer. I have done yoga for years and plan to become certified when I am out school. Message me or add me as a friend if you like! I am happy to share any suggestions and advice.

Highly motivated to get back to my fitself! I lost 90lbs long before having a baby. My smallest was 172 with very little weightlifting and a lot of cardio. My average was 185lbs 18% body fat and a lot of muscle! Would like to have different perspectives on fitness. ADOPT ME! 5 ft 7" POST PREGNANCY WEIGHT 250lbs Current 222 goal 185! I meal prep I count macros Looking for someone to compare notes!

I’d like to have someone take me under their wing! I’m eager to do whatever it takes to become healthier. I absolutely need someone to call me out on my excuses, I catch myself making them a lot

Hi guys. I'm Alex. 19 yo male. I'm 5'11'' and 119 lbs. Doc wants me at 1
b/w 135 and 145 lbs in six months. My first day teaching my calorie intake was today and I missed my goal by alot.

I really don't understand what my problem is. I eat as much want but it's not a lot and today I was eating stuff in didn't want.

I'm just really discouraged.

EAT and eat somemore! I put my bf on a clean bulk and he gained greatly! He had a high metabolism so it was alot of food all the time! gaining is just as hard as losing. Pb sandwhiches at night and caesin if you take protein. A lot of bodybuilders who are bulk clean will eat a pint of icecream at night to slow down metabolism. YOU JUST GOTTA KEEP EATING! you can do it

Hi my name is Jessica. I'm just starting but add me I just turned 31 yesterday. I have a 9 year old girl, 7 year old boy, 15 month old girl, and 3 month old boy. I'm the biggest I have ever been. I'm 215 and 5'5". My goal is 145-150. would love to be adopted.

I need a mentor.

I have a history of being a very healthy and fit gym-rat, however life happened and 4 years later I ended up older, out of shape, overweight, not engaged in any outdoor activities, super busy, and smack dab in the beginning of a new chapter of life. It's more than starting over, I'm learning a whole new ball game. What used to work regarding food and fitness don't anymore.

I'm hopeful, have grace on my side, and am ready to start fresh. I can learn new things and do this... with some help from some friends!

I want to be adopted! I need to be adopted!

I am a mother of five children and I am 30years old. After seeing photos of myself at a family function I have decided that I need to lose some weight. Currently I weight 232.8 lbs and my goal weight by December 30th (which also marks my 31st birthday) is to get to 200 - 210lbs and then ultimately reach a satisfying 170lbs.

I am looking for people in my area to keep motivated, provide suggestion and advice. This is about to be a hard uphill battle but I believe it will be completely worth it!

Also I am in the Canada.

I would love to be a mentor. We can push each to achieve greatness!

I've been using MFP since April. I must say MFP has helped me out GREATLY!!! I was at my heaviest of 243 pounds. I felt completely uncomfortable with the size. The most embrassing thing I disliked was my heavy breathing while walking and talking. I then realized that I can't go on this way. I purchased a smart watch and got moving counting my steps and jogging at the park. Right after that, the calorie counting came in and saved the day. As of today, I'am at 209 pounds. I'am 30% away from reaching my goal of 198. I've found a NEW love for health and fitness. So much so that I created an up and coming brand out of it, "Fit to Father." This journey is amazing and the people you meet are just as amazing. I encourage anyone who are doubting themselves to go against the negative voice in your mind and trust your heart! Believe and know that you are capable of all great things! Nothing and no one stands in the way of you living the life you deserve. I love you guys and I hope you lavish in all the joy of victory.

I need a motivational mentor/advice giver/nutritionalist helper. Adopt me!

I would greatly appreciate being adopted! I'm a 24 year old woman who needs to lose about 80 lbs. I worked out to be fit years ago and managed to lose a fair amount of weight, but a happy marriage has definitely made me gain some comfort pounds back. I want to get healthier and not have to huff and puff my way up a staircase anymore!

Start: 220
Current: 214
Goal: 140

I would love someone who has any kind of advice or tips on how to lose weight! I'm currently calorie counting and trying to lose about 10-15lbs there before adding a workout regimen to my current lifestyle!
